Carl Hitchens & Petra Lozano
Carl Hitchens
 Carl
Hitchens is a rainbow of creative mists, flushed into
being in the natal sky of Washington, D.C.; retouched in the
high-desert pigments of Albuquerque, NM, and the lands of Prescott,
Arizona, where he now resides.
"Hitch"
is a poet, fiction writer, and essayist who has read on Lady Mathers'
Poets Corner program (Public Access TV, Channel 13), and featured in
Lady's Poets Corner column in Prescott's Monsoon Magazine (June 2007
issue) with the poem, The Old Ones Have Told Us.
He won first prize for poetry in the Tenth
Annual Whipple Voices Writing Festival for the poem, Thirty-Four
Years. Additionally, his poems, Morning Light, Desert Whispers,
and
Medicine Bird, were included in the anthologies, Eternal Songs,
Beneath the Harvest Moon, and Where Dawn Lingers, respectively. His
short story, Sign on the River, graced the Arizona Mandala Newspaper
Magazine.
Presently, Carl is finishing up a novel manuscript -
part history, part memoir, part ancestral channeling. Visit him at
his website,
Drum Talk.
Shades of Light
Shades of light
auric threads of glowing alchemy
interpenetrating the crystal latticed notes
of the great Sound Current,
hardened by the pressure of Mind
into diamonds of mayasakti, sparkling
with beginnings and endings.
Merely pulses in the streaming of light
conjuring in the minds of beings
the fiction of time and space.
Everything changing, moving on,
transiting from birth to death.
But nothing is old but memories,
nothing young but forgetfulness.
A world, a universe, a being
is merely light emerging
from a chrysalis of powerful intention,
a narrowing down of focus
into a shading of self-awareness,
repeated and repeated,
till imagined into solid form.
Shades of light cast by shades of light
Existence is the bleeding
of its own luminance.

Petra Lozano
aka author P.K. Parker
 Author
P.K. Parker was born and raised in Germany and came to the USA in
1986 at the age of 19. She started her writing career at the tender
age of 12 when she created the characters for her FBI Badge of Honor
Series. She didn't publish the first novel, LOOK INTO THE EYES OF
EVIL, until 2004, and again in 2006. Because her first experience
with a POD publisher wasn't what she considered professional and
ethical, she now publishes her own books.
Although a devastating car accident in 1999 left Petra disabled, she
went ahead and founded her own company,
Author 2 U Books, in 2007, where she features brand new
and established authors from around the globe. The site was an
instant hit, and has opened the door for the general public to
interact with the various featured authors. The authors are able to
showcase their work and list their sales information for readers,
therefore eliminating the middle man.
Petra moved to Prescott in 2007 and felt at home immediately,
thrilled for the opportunity to meet local writers and
artists. She is currently working on the second book in her FBI
Series, and hopes to publish TOUCHING EVIL by the end of the year.
"Mystery is my passion and so I continue to do what I love, full
steam ahead," she writes.
